It is poetic yet accessible, and earnest without being maudlin. Its biggest flaw is that its plot ultimately takes a surprisingly conventional route for such an otherwise unconventional Hollywood release.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Featuring one of Tom Cruise's best performances in recent years, American Made is a darkly funny, dizzying crime film that nevertheless ultimately feels inconsequential and overly familiar.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as cheeky, cartoonish, and crazy as its predecessor, but it's also commendably unafraid to demolish what had come before it if it's in service of the story. &dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Showcases plenty of cool creatures and ideas for sci-fi fans to savor, but if only the movie's central characters and their relationship were as exciting and interesting as all that impressive eye candy.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

The charming, skillful storyteller George Lazenby himself is the best reason to watch Becoming Bond. The reenactments, while often funny and involving, simply can't hold a candle to the man and his anecdotes.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Ultimately, there's nothing about CHIPS that makes it distinct or particularly memorable, and the only real reason why the movie even exists seems to be because it is recognizable IP to a segment of the public over a certain age.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Featuring what's arguably the best ever screen depiction of Spider-Man as well as a cool new hero in Black Panther, Captain America: Civil War can't quite recapture the emotional and cerebral strengths of its predecessor.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Armed with vicious humor and an intense story, Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is as brutal in its insights into race relations and human nature as it is in its depiction of violence and the Wild West.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

A stunning-looking and daring filmmaking endeavor, The Revenant brings one of the Old West's greatest legends to cinematic life with utter ferocity and complete conviction from its cast.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Pixar's mantra has always been story first, and they've managed to salvage every one of their troubled productions, but in the case of The Good Dinosaur you can definitely feel the machinery straining to pull it off one more time.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Coiled, magnetic, frightening and seductive, Depp's Whitey Bulger is more like the serpent Kaa from The Jungle Book than he is your usual screen gangster. ... Black Mass gets far more right than it gets wrong in bringing the Bulger-FBI saga to the screen.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Ultimately, Avengers: Age of Ultron can't recapture the charm and majesty of seeing Earth's Mightiest Heroes assembled for the first time. That said, it's still a lot of fun and offers plenty of great action and character moments.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Director Michael Mann's hacker thriller Blackhat suggests the once great filmmaker has nothing left to draw on in his artistic arsenal than the same old crime tropes he helped popularize and that he's fallen back on for too many years now.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

What helps elevate How to Train Your Dragon above the glut of other recent animated fare is its message about tolerance and realizing that your enemy may not be as different as you think.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Director Ridley Scott gets lost in the desert at times in Exodus: Gods and Kings, his epic, but not entirely effective take on the story of Moses' journey from Prince of Egypt to Hebrew leader.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

The movie's slow burn pacing may try some viewers' patience. But if you can hang in there until the final act -- where the movie ratchets up the tension, making one edgy with anticipation -- then you'll find the investment worth it.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT

Bolstered by Scarlett Johansson's confident performance and director Luc Besson's eye for action, Lucy will likely be a bit too much of a mind job for most viewers but it deserves kudos for its sheer loony ambition.&dash; IGN Movies - EDIT
